It might be useful if you showed the du & df output, and that you should
remember to run du as root in order to see all the directories and not
just the ones you have permission to read as a normal user.

Suggest also that you read the fedora archives for the topic "df cmd
calculates wrong percent usage (FC6)".

Hi

Thanks everyone for your replies. Here's the relevant output. Is there
some tests I can run to see what is going on?

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 3.0G 1.9G 967M 67% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 147M 15M 125M 11% /boot
/dev/cciss/c0d0p7 59G 53G 3.3G 95% /opt
none 1007M 0 1007M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 3.0G 2.5G 358M 88% /var

du -hs /opt/
27G /opt

Hope this helps
Dan
